An internship stint in Shenzhen, China, for four National University of Singapore (NUS) final-year students earlier this year led to an idea to make the world’s first 7-in-1 USB-C hub with a solid-state drive (SSD) enclosure.

Their idea is now on the cusp of fruition.

Material science and engineering undergraduates Helen Tan and Karyn Chen, both 22; civil engineering student Fatim Mohrini, 22; and biomedical engineering student Aaron Ramzeen, 25, launched the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for their brainchild earlier this month. The campaign had raised more than $40,000 by last week, far exceeding their funding goal of $15,000, and is on track to launch next month.

The four undergraduates got to know one another only when they were in the NUS Overseas Colleges internship programme in Shenzhen. During their internship there, they came to know of Flujo Technology, a Singapore PC accessories maker based in Shenzhen.
